[Intro]

S–shut up already! Damn!

Tell me, who in this house know about the Quake?

(We do!) I mean really, really

If you know how to rock, say, "Yeah!" (Yeah!)

If you know how to party, say, "Oh, yeah!" (Oh, yeah!)

But if you ain't hip to the rare Housequake

Shut up already—damn!


[Chorus]

Housequake—everybody jump up and down

Housequake—there's a brand new groove, going 'round

(Housequake!) In your funky town

(Housequake!) And the kick drum is the fault

You gotta rock this mother, say (Housequake!)—uh!

We gotta rock this mother, say (Housequake!)—uh! Ah!


[Verse 1]

We gonna show you what to do

You put your foot down, on the two

You jump up on the one

Now, you're having fun, huh

You're doin'

The Housequake—hey

Question—does anybody know about the Quake? (Yeah!)

Bullshit! You can't get off

Until you make the house shake

Now, everybody clap your hands, come on!

Let's jam, y'all, let's jam

Don't wait for your neighbor

Green eggs and ham!


[Chorus]

Doin' the Housequake

There's a brand new groove going 'round

In your city, in your town—Housequake

And the kick drum is the fault

Housequake (Housequake!)

Housequake—you gotta rock this mother

(Gotta rock this mother)

Housequake

Housequake—you gotta rock this mother down, come on!

Uh—Housequake

Uh—Housequake


[Verse 2]

Now that you got it, let's do the twist

A little bit harder than they did in '66

A little bit faster than they did in '67

Twist, little sister, and go to Heaven

Come on, y'all, we got to jam

Before the police come

A groove this funky is on the run, a-hey! Yeah

Shake your body 'til your neighbors stare at you!

(Quake! Quake! Quake! Quake! Quake!) Ah-hooo (Quake!)


[Chorus]

Housequake—everybody, everybody jump up and down

Housequake—there's a brand new groove going 'round

Housequake—in this city, in this funky town

Housequake—and the saxophone is the fault; check it out!

If you can't rock steady, shut up already!

Damn! You got to get off!

You know what I'm talking about?

On the one, y'all say, "Housequake!"

Top of your body, let me hear you shout

Say (Housequake!) My lord!

(Housequake!) My lord!

(Housequake!) Bullshit! Louder, say it!

(Housequake!) Ooh-wee!

Shock-a-lock-a (Boom!)

What was that? (Aftershock!)

Everybody, everybody—you gotta rock, you gotta rock, come on!


[Outro]

We gonna shake, we gonna quake

'Cause we got the baddest groove that a-we could make

We on the two, y'all; the drummer's gonna tap

We gonna see if we can rock this mother to the max

And that's a fact

Housequake, come on—say it!

(Housequake!) Woo! Come on!

You can't follow it?

We got the baddest jam in the land

Everybody shut up, listen to the band

(Woo!)

Woo! Housequake

Shut up already!

Damn
